Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Treasure Hill Park home through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you that it’s present, so the only practical way to know is by testing your water for radionuclides.
In Treasure Hill Park households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth—so concerns about strontium-90 are about whole-home exposure, not just a single faucet. If testing finds elevated levels, reducing exposure means treating water at the point it enters your house. Point-of-use devices can protect one tap, but they won’t safeguard showers, laundry or outdoor spigots; a properly chosen whole-house system delivers more consistent protection across daily water use.
For addressing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter option because it uses ion exchange. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it is reducible by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice when you want homewide treatment at the entry point.
An ion exchange softener works best when sized for your Treasure Hill Park household’s water use and the mineral load in your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps performance steady. In many installations, adding a prefilter protects the resin from sediment and extends media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to target strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than it needs to be.
